For those of you who are unfamiliar with Michael's work, here is his website: http://www.obrienphotography.com/ I met Michael in the 1990's when he moved his family to Austin, Texas after having done a six week assignment here for National Geographic. He is an icon in the industry having done the ground breaking, "What's on your Powerbook?" campaign for Apple, Inc. A beautiful and timeless campaign for Bank of America and countless amazing photographs for magazines, from Texas Monthly to Life. And of course, National Geographic.

I decided to interview Michael after the publication of his new book, Hard Ground. It's an amazing book. I hope you enjoy hearing Michael talk about what he does, how he does it and the thought processes behind it.
